macOS Ventura and above, duplicating and renaming Terminal.app are disabled by Apple. In order to install the OCI8, we need to switch between arm64 and x86_64 architecture.

	Github.com ui .currently does not natively supoport search for multiple topic tags as of now. However their api allows you to query multiple tags. Below is a simple example to query github.com with ecs and go topic tags.

	curl -H "Accept: application/vnd.github.mercy-preview+json" \
	https://api.github.com/search/repositories?q=topic:ecs+topic:go

	Response from the github can be rather verbose so lets filter only relavant info such repo url and description.

	curl -H "Accept: application/vnd.github.mercy-preview+json" \
	https://api.github.com/search/repositories\?q\=topic:ecs+topic:go \| jq '.items[] \| {url:.url, description:.description}'
